Carly Sentiveny-Collins

Golden Light #9 is Carly Sentiveny-Collins.

Carly is a 9 year old Golden Retriever who works as a member of the pain management team at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, California. Carly is owned by Sandy Sentiveny-Collins who is an RN. Carly is a Golden Light for the way she helps children cope with their pain in the hospital.

Here is a video about Carly's work at the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital.

 

Carly works about ten hours a day at the hospital. Hospital physicians can write Carly Consults when patients need to visit with Carly, and then Carly fulfills those visits when she is at work. Sandy Sentiveny-Collins describes Carly's work in the above video this way,

Carly gets working in the hospital. I am not sure how she gets it. I didn't teach it to her. When we are outside she is much more athletic and active. As soon as we walk through the doors she slows down her pace. She walks pretty slowly throughout the hospital. She'll stop whenever children approach her and want to pet her. She'll let them do pretty much whatever they wan to do.

Special thanks to Carly for all her hard work in the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital. Many children are blessed to get a Carly Consult.
